Group companies
In order to maintain independence and flexibility, global networks in law firms have been problematic. In reality, there are very few global firms despite the claims of many of the large practices. Even within a large law practice inside a country each partner runs their own fiefdom which can be and typically is three staff to one partner. The staff of one partner will fight viciously for fees from the other partner(s).
In our experience, truly global law firms are a myth.
However, having some of your own offices overseas intermingled with alliances provides the best of all worlds for our clients who are typically high net worth individuals and family offices. We need to maintain confidentiality and discretion and this cannot be achieved through large global networks where information is shared openly across borders.
